Typically takes 90 days to break down in a commercial compost. You have made the right choice - any way you dispose of this, you can be sure that these toothbrushes will not be land-fill for millions of years to come - unlike many toothbrushes in use today.

REPLACE TOOTHBRUSH EVERY 8 WEEKS OR EARLIER

Jack and Jill toothpaste was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1949. It has been in our family since my father took it over more than twenty years ago….

A few years ago, my wife Rachel and I had our first child while living in New York, and we immediately joined the many parents the world over who are concerned about the current environmental issues and the direct effects they have on our children. We started to question everything he came into contact with, not wanting to expose him to unnecessary additives and chemicals, and felt frustrated at the lack of choices in early childhood oral hygiene. A few years went by and we returned to Melbourne with two children, and set to work to do our ‘bit’ towards the environment, and the health of our young family.

All Jack and Jill packaging is designed to be appealing to children and is cute enough that parents won't mind them sitting on their bathroom vanity. Alongside the toothpaste we have designed and manufactured the first children’s toothbrushes that are made of cornstarch, and are therefore biodegradable and recyclable. Did we mention 'cute'?

At Jack and Jill we believe that businesses have an obligation to the environment, that’s why we have formulated an all natural, hypoallergenic toothpaste with organic ingredients, and designed our packaging to be minimal, recyclable and BPA Free.
